Turing is a startup developing fully autonomous driving. By simultaneously developing an end-to-end autonomous driving AI that handles everything from environment recognition to route planning and driving control with a single AI, and a large-scale infrastructure model that understands the common sense, background, and context of human society, Turing aims to realize “fully autonomous driving” by integrating these two technologies, in which the car will operate the car in place of a human driver under all conditions.
今回調達した資金は、上記の取り組みを加速させるため、コンピューティングインフラの拡充、社会実装に向けた事業体制の強化、MLエンジニアを中心とした人材の確保に充当する予定です。.
